Two entirely unrelated news stones appeared in the same issue of the Observer a few days ago, and if you happened to read-them both they may have set you thinking. One story told of the new army tank that was being tested at Linden, N. J. This tank proved itself capable of travel ing 110 miles an hour along the highways, and 60 miles an hour over rough ground. It can jump over ditches and it is light enough to be carried by a large airplane. All in all, it seems to be a delightfully efficient bit of fighting mach- inery- ...... i'ij.yiilIJi The other story came from Thiepval, France.

The upturn probably iwon't be rapid, but it at least ought to be steady; and if at last it is at hand, the nation will be as truly thankful as if a long and arduous war had ended. , ; . . Hut there are one or two thing. the depression has taught us, and it is to bo hoped that we can renieihber them after good times return. First and foremost, the depression has taught us that our utter lack of any organized system to prevent recurrence of the unemployment cycle is almost criminally stupid. . Secondly, it lias proved pretty clearly that our hil-or-miss way of taking care of the victims of the unemployment cycle is about as unsatisfactory as it possibly could be. And when one ponders over these facts it is a little hard to understand why there are still die-hards who protest loudly against any plans for stale old age and unemployment insurance. The Ohio Chamber of Commerce the other day issued a blast on these allied subjects. It declared that such pioptis jils are "socialistic" and it predicted that they would "unddr manc and weaken" the character of the people. Now here is a point worth1, looking at. Possibly the sturdy solf-relionce of the'wagc-earner would miffer if the wage-earner knew that the state hail instituted a system whereby he would be guaranteed a pittance if his factory had to shut down, liut you might take a few min-' utes off, sometime, and consider whether our present svstem. 1 or lack of system, is not even more fatal to self-reliance and ambition, - "-' - H Co to the breadlines and see if the private charity that has tided us through this depression has not "undermined and weakened the character of its recipients. iiuuai wunu'is mio me nomes oi lamiues wnien have lived on free handouts for a year, or two years, and see what has happened there.
